Month: May 2016

Hello everyone! Summer is pretty much around the corner, so, personally, my closet + wardrobe is definitely evolving from the long sleeves to trendy tanks! But, we are focusing on accessories today; may I present Summer Earrings (which are all under $100)!!

All of these earrings will match great with a swing dress to an off the shoulder top! Also, none of these earrings cost close to $100, there are all either under $50, or slightly over $50.

SALES

Kendra Scott is having a 60% off sale off their sale items, Bauble Bar is having a 50% off sale off their sale items, and Kate Spade is taking off 25% off their sale items UNTIL TOMORROW using the code Speechless; Shop away!

It’s Sunday, so that means a new blog post, and today’s post is all about my favorites from the month of May! I hope you enjoy my little obsessions from this month; lets get started!

Nike 5.0 Fly Knits

I have been living in these shoes on the weekends and especially at school, because they are so comfy!! I got these shoes in a blue color, but they come in so many different colors + styles! They are awesome + definitely durable for anything!

Lilly Pulitzer Agenda

My Lilly Agenda has been my life saver especially with finals coming up; it’s helped me keep on track for upcoming tests and quizzes + finals that are coming up!!

Essential Oils Diffuser

I recently bought this diffuser from Amazon, and since then, I’ve slept 10x better!! I add lavender to it + I don’t think I can go back to sleeping with out this!

Black Arizona Birkenstocks

These shoes have been my go to for the spring + summer time because they are so easy to slip on and they dress up/down any outfit!

Vineyard Vines Shirts

These simple, yet bold tees have been my favorites shirts for this time of year because they are so light but super cute!

Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Face Scrub

My face has been getting really oily lately, so this scrub has helped my skin stay soft and healthy!!

Hello ladies + happy Sunday! Today, I’m doing a COLLAB!! I’ve never done one on my blog before, but there is always a first for everything! I am doing a collab with the wonderful Kendre from SouthernKyPrep on BlogSpot; check her out + follow her on her Instagram! We are both going to show y’all our favorite Spring outfit; enjoy!

Happy Sunday! For today’s post, I wanted to show you guys how to make a DIY Pinhead Bulletin Board that was inspired by Pottery Barn Teen for… $159, yes I know expensive! This whole DIY only cost around $10 + it is looks almost identical. All of the supplies were purchased from my local craft store. This DIY is great for a gift, to hang pictures, or for decoration!

The first thing you want to do is sketch where you want to place your pins, with a pen or preferably a pencil, by making small dots. Then take your pins and jam then into your canvas, creating your preferred design. I loved creating my own board because it was so much cheaper + I got to choose what size I wanted it to be!

TIP:

When I started sketching out my design on my canvas + placing the pins, I ran into the wooden back of the canvas. I would definitely recommend to start placing your pins + drawing your design above the border of wood around the canvas, because I honestly didn’t want to have to hammer in my pins for this DIY.

TIP:

I bought two canvases, but only one box of pins & I quickly ran out and didn’t have enough pins for my second canvas, so I recommend buying the same amount of boxes of pins as you did canvases.

And that’s it; I hope you enjoyed this DIY. Let me know any more DIY’s that y’all wanted to see in the future! Have an amazing day!

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope all of y’all have a great day celebrating your mothers!

Starting off the morning, gifts were passed out (I made her a card + got her a super colorful tassel necklace) and we started a little bit of some spring cleaning in my room. Then, it was off to brunch! We went to a place called Bonnie Ruth’s to have their legendary Mothers Day Brunch!
